Any teachers investing in or using Lego?

I have been teaching English for 15+ years, and have found a few way to use Lego bricks in lessons, but it was not until I stumbled upon this site that I started really collected them. I am teaching a financial literacy class this fall, and I plan on using the ideas on this site as a basis for buying and trading stocks. I also buy Lego for my kids, but now I am buying much much more. I also sell lesson plan on Teacherspayteachers.com , and I cannot recommend the site enough for teachers looking to both buy and sell lesson ideas and manipulatives. Of course my own site www.anderchunking.com shows how I use that site and Minecraft to teach English. I hope to develop some good plans involving the buying and selling of Lego, as my students can do that without opening a stock market account and actually make money. For the classroom, I have been using Donorschoose.org as a way to get funding for basic Lego blocks for classroom activities, too. I know there is a huge wealth of educational ideas for Lego bricks, and I am sure I will never gather all of them.
